🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Call the hotline first and be ready with clear location details and a brief description of the animal and situation; after-hours help is available but may be slower during peak times or holidays.
- If it’s safe to do so, contain the animal in a ventilated box in a quiet, dark place until a rescuer arrives or you’re advised to take it to a vet.
- Follow phone advice closely—staff may direct you to a local vet or arrange a carer pickup depending on the case.
- Ask at handover if you would like an update later, as routine follow-ups aren’t always provided.
- Keep pets and people away from the animal and secure the area to prevent further stress or injury while you wait.

Here are the questions pet owners ask most often — tap a question to read the full answer. For other concerns, please consult a licensed veterinarian.
ACT Wildlife Centre is at 2 Dairy Road, Fyshwick ACT 2609. There isn’t a train or light-rail station within walking distance, so driving is usually easiest; the Dairy Road – P5 car park is about a 5‑minute walk and open 24 hours. If you’re using public transport, check Google Maps for the nearest bus route and travel times.
The centre is open Monday to Friday 9:00 am–4:30 pm and Saturday 9:00 am–3:00 pm (closed Sunday). Their wildlife rescue hotline provides after-hours advice and triage 24/7.
You can call ACT Wildlife Centre on 0432 300 033. For general information and resources, visit https://www.actwildlife.org.au/.
Call to enquire first so the team can triage the situation and advise whether to contain the animal, bring it to a local vet, or await a carer pickup. For non‑urgent questions or guidance, see the website for tips on safely containing wildlife until help arrives.
Veterinary and rescue fees in Australia aren’t government‑regulated and there’s no official fee schedule, and Medicare doesn’t cover pets. For the most current costs, call the clinic to request a quote and ask for an itemised written estimate before any procedure; after‑hours fees are typically higher. If you have pet insurance or are considering payment‑plan options, check your policy and discuss available arrangements with the clinic.
Australian vet clinics commonly accept EFTPOS, Visa/Mastercard and tap‑and‑go (Apple Pay/Google Pay), and some may support pet‑insurance gap claims or payment plans; call ahead to confirm what this clinic accepts.
Yes—ACT Wildlife Centre operates a 24/7 wildlife rescue hotline for after‑hours assistance and triage. Response times can be slower during peak periods or holidays; if it’s safe, contain the animal in a ventilated box in a quiet, dark place and keep people and pets away until you’re advised what to do next.
